What I Learned Building an AI Software Factory: Hands-On Lessons from Weeks of Real Projects
bibryam · x · 2026-11-08
Emmanuel Goossaert (Code Capsule) explains why he distrusts the flood of unsourced "AI best practices" and instead built his own AI software factory workflow. His approach: apply the workflow to several real projects for a few weeks, observe the new habits it induces, then extract guiding principles and mental models for working with such systems. The article extends his long-standing learn-by-building method, which previously included writing compilers, a persistent key-value store, and a crypto payment system.
